TIE SALE OF THE B. & O.
A Member of the Syndicate Tells How the
Transaction Is To Be Finally Consummated.

New YORK, March 9.-The following state
ment is made by one of the syndicate which is
about to acquire control Of the Baltimore &
Ohio:
President Garrett has granted an extension
OF time in which to take up the majority of the
stock, and he will not hold out on technicalities
either regarding the exact terms or time. There
ten agreement is in ihis city, giving certain
party the right to buy the stock, and this party,
although not mentioned in the contract is clear
ly understood by both Mr. Garrett and the par-
ties conducting the negotiations. The price is
not more than 200 but whether it is less or
not l will not say. Mr.. Garrett will be repre-
sented in the syndicate, and Mr.. Gould will also
be represented there. The sale of the property,
when eliminated, will bring about q settlement
of the question Of entering New York city, and
the telegraph and express lines will be sold.
Mr.. Sully has the same interest as before in the
syndicate, and all interests are working in har-
mony. The negotiations referring to the sale to
Richmond Terminal failed on account Of the re-
| fusal of the executive committee, yesterday, to
consent to the issue of the additional stock
necessary. The stock will be paid for in cash,
| syndicate or loaned by the First National Bank,
| Drexel. Morgan & Co., or Winslow. Lanier &
Co., who will issue negotiable certificates for it.
| The probability, at present, however, is
| that the necessary cash will be subscribed The
| formation of new company is not contem-
plated. The securities may ultimately be sold
| to the Richmond Terminal Company, but at a
| higher price than that paid by the syndicate"
BALTIMORE, March ia private dispatch re-
| ceived in this city this afternoon from New
| York says the deal is not off and that it will be
consummated. The following has just been is-
sued from the Baltimore & Ohio railroad Office
